Voices ■ VARIATION This control changes the Variation effect settings, letting you alter some aspect of the effect, depending on the selected type. For example, when the Rotary Speaker effect is selected (page 127), this lets you switch the rotor speed between slow and fast. ■ HARMONY/ECHO This control adds Harmony or Echo effects to the voices played on the right hand section of the keyboard (page 146). ■ MONO This control determines whether the voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically for each part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT). This is set to MONO when the lamp is lit, and set to polyphonic when the lamp is off. When set to MONO, only the last note played will sound. This lets you play wind instrument voices more realistically. Depending on the selected voice, the MONO setting also lets you effectively use the Portamento effect, when playing in legato. ■ LEFT HOLD This function causes the left part voice to be held even when the keys are released - the same effect as when the sustain pedal is pressed. This function is especially effective when used with the auto accompaniment. For example, if you play and release a chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard (with the left part on and the Left voice set to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural richness to the overall accompaniment sound. The Portamento effect creates a smooth pitch glide between successively played notes. You can add special emphasis to melody lines you play over chords by using the Layer function with a monophonic voice. Set the Main voice to play polyphonically and set the Layer voice to play monophonically (MONO). In this case, the melody you play - including the top notes of any chords - sounds monophonically. Try this using the following voices. MAIN voice: Brass Section (polyphonic) + LAYER voice: Sweet Trump (monophonic) PITCH BEND Wheel & MODULATION Wheel Use the PSR-2100/1100 PITCH BEND wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The PITCH BEND wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released. PITCH BEND The maximum pitch bend range can be changed (page 126). The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard (PSR2100). Moving the MODULATION wheel all the way towards yourself minimizes the depth of the effect, while rotating it away from yourself increases it. MODULATION In order to avoid accidentally applying modulation set the depth to its minimum setting. Adjusting the Octave setting The [UPPER OCTAVE] button allows the MAIN and LAYER parts to be simultaneously transposed up or down by one octave. UPPER OCTAVE RESET More detailed octave-related settings for each part can be made by using the Mixing Console function (page 126). PSR-2100/1100 61

PSR-2100/1100

■

VARIATION

This control changes the Variation effect settings, letting you alter some aspect of the effect, depending on the selected

type. For example, when the Rotary Speaker effect is selected (page 127), this lets you switch the rotor speed between

slow and fast.

■

HARMONY/ECHO

This control adds Harmony or Echo effects to the voices played on the right hand section

of the keyboard (page 146).

■

MONO

This control determines whether the voice is played monophonically (only one note at a

time) or polyphonically for each part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT). This is set to MONO when the

lamp is lit, and set to polyphonic when the lamp is off. When set to MONO, only the last

note played will sound. This lets you play wind instrument voices more realistically.

Depending on the selected voice, the MONO setting also lets you effectively use the

Portamento effect, when playing in legato.

■

LEFT HOLD

This function causes the left part voice to be held even when the keys are released — the

same effect as when the sustain pedal is pressed. This function is especially effective when

used with the auto accompaniment. For example, if you play and release a chord in the

auto accompaniment section of the keyboard (with the left part on and the Left voice set

to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural richness to the overall

accompaniment sound.

Use the PSR-2100/1100 PITCH BEND

wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away

from you) or down (roll the wheel toward

you) while playing the keyboard. The PITCH

BEND wheel is self-centering and will

automatically return to normal pitch when

released.

The Modulation function applies a vibrato

effect to notes played on the keyboard (PSR-

2100). Moving the MODULATION wheel

all the way towards yourself minimizes the

depth of the effect, while rotating it away

from yourself increases it.

The [UPPER OCTAVE] button allows the MAIN and LAYER parts to be simultaneously

transposed up or down by one octave.

You can add special empha-

sis to melody lines you play

over chords by using the

Layer function with a mono-

phonic voice. Set the Main

voice to play polyphonically

and set the Layer voice to

play monophonically

(MONO). In this case, the

melody you play — including

the top notes of any chords

— sounds monophonically.

Try this using the following

voices.

MAIN voice

: Brass Section

(polyphonic) +

LAYER voice

Sweet Trump (monophonic)

The Portamento effect creates

a smooth pitch glide between

successively played notes.

PITCH BEND Wheel & MODULATION Wheel

PITCH BEND

The maximum pitch bend

range can be changed

(page 126).

MODULATION

In order to avoid accidentally

applying modulation set the

depth to its minimum setting.

Adjusting the Octave setting

More detailed octave-related

settings for each part can be

made by using the Mixing

Console function

(page 126).
